Μελέτη της ανθρώπινης υγείας και της ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης με τη χρήση γεωγραφικών συστημάτων πληροφορικής

Abstract

Internationally, air pollution has been established that it is one of the largest and main problems afflicting many countries in the world. This project involves monitoring the field of Public Health and specifically the areas of Cyprus, using the Geographic Information System. Throughout, for analysis of the deaths have used indicators Coarse Mortality Index , Special Mortality Indicators (by sex, age and cause) and the distribution of deaths per square mile (density deaths). The calculations of the above indicators were intended to geographic spatial distribution throughout the study area. The above methods of exploratory analysis, will be achieved by creating a flexible database, containing information enabled imaging and analysis of such data. An objective of this process, is the use of GIS as a starting reason for an organized effort safety of public health areas of our country. This is achieved by creating logical questions based on descriptive and spatial characteristics. In this case, the data and information used as a "health cards", which will include several of the above information (Coarse and Specific Mortality indicators), with purpose of timely and accurate information to the public and a medical carrier for using basic information about the state of Municipalities’ "health". The main goal is the maximum performance of database which will provide immediate, fast and easy access to users that exploit the data and information derived from the processing of raw data. Then having exported the results of the above procedure, the research interest has focused on air quality data through MODIS.
